I bought a low profile, low power A380 for a minitower linux machine to get something with enough power to smoothly run a modern high resolution desktop with minimal heat and sound. It has worked exactly as I hoped! Driver support seems perfectly solid, in comparison with my prior machine on a GTX750Ti. Hardware video decoding for modern codecs, variable refresh rate, etc. It have just been a solid trouble-free experience, which has been unusual in my prior experiences with Linux GPU support.
